In "The Jigsaw Is Up!", the Green Goblin enlists the Enforcers and manipulates B.J. Cosmos into filming a mock battle in the desert—setting the stage for a showdown that spirals beyond control. As Spider-Man faces off against the Goblin and his hired thugs, the desert heat and chaos awaken a force long buried: the Hulk. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with inks by Ditko and letters by Art Simek, this gripping two-part story unfolds under a sun-baked sky, where every move brings unexpected consequences. The cover by John Byrne and Bob McLeod captures the moment of tension with sharp, dynamic energy.
